Once in a lifetime moments happen every day.
Let's create images rich in connection, joy, and movement that reveal the soul of your family in each season.
Parenthood is a wild, intense, and awe-inspiring adventure, and documenting the simple beauty of deep love brings me so much joy. Each season is as beautiful as it is fleeting, and when these moments have passed, what we'll really yearn for is not just to remember what it all looked like, but exactly how it felt.
Welcome! I'm Emi, photographer and creative director at Emi Rose Studio. Gardener, wife, and mama to two small wildlings (#boymom!).
I photograph heartfelt family, maternity, and newborn portrait sessions throughout upstate New York. For me, photography is an exercise in being present - finding and documenting beauty in forms large and small, cherishing the relationships that bring meaning to our busy lives, and capturing each fleeting moment in a way that is honest, true, and beautiful. I take my job as my family's historian very seriously, and I want the same for you. Photographs of our loved ones and most important moments will forever say "you are here, you are loved, you are home."
Over the past 10 years, I've had the joy of documenting iconic events and intimate moments, and the honor of seeing my work featured by international brands and publications as well as on the walls of clients across the country. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me in the sunshine, growing everything from peonies to pears in our gardens, making up silly songs to entertain our boys, or floating on the beautiful Finger Lakes that we're lucky enough to call home.

Emi is truly a master of her craft, and has a very unique style that is not easy to emulate. She understands her clients' desires at a very deep level, and goes the extra mile help achieve them.
Emi is nothing short of amazing! She instantly makes you feel like a friend. She was wonderful with my son, and captured beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever. We already booked her again for our fall family photos!
Emi was an inspiration! Our photography was a great experience, full of playfulness and ease. You couldn't ask for a more comfortable person to be with to capture your bond.
What I love is that her photos don't have the forced feel that some newborn photos have. They're just beautiful, relaxed portraits of the love we just brought home. Have Emi take your family's newborn photos! She took beautiful photos of our newborn son and made us look and feel great even though I was only a few days out of the hospital.
Emi is fun and energetic with kids, and has a way of making you feel comfortable! Working with Emi was the best. She managed to take amazing photos of our three kids, who all have a lot of energy! She really captured our family's energy, and these photos are going to be real keepsakes as our kids grow up.
Emi was professional, kind, excited, organized, creative so patient with our little ones.She was wonderful to work with! As we all know, young kids can be unpredictable, especially during new situations, but Emi just went with the flow and worked around the chaos...and we couldn't believe the beautiful photos that she captured!
Emi was so wonderful with our boys, and made the experience flawless and easy. Thank you Emi for these beautiful photos of our new family of four! We had such a fun time. I can't wait to hang these photos in our home and remember these memories forever.
